# Triggering a password reset for an existing 'native' linked company user
## Introduction
If you are a multi-company profile user with [permission to manage another linked company](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/managing-team-members-and-users-for-multi-company-profiles/working-with-your-team-members/granting-and-revoking-permission-for-an-existing-team-member-to-manage-a-linked-company), you can trigger a password reset email for users associated with a company that you manage.
When this is done, a reset email is sent to the email address for the user, containing a reset link. Password reset links are valid for 24 hours. After this, another password reset must be triggered so a new link is emailed.
